In the absence of a real living and breathing review, the following is the publishers own bullurb from the cover but at least it is reasonable accurate.

Epic and thrilling, Homer’s two age-old classics have been revisited countless times. Gillian Cross and Neil Packer’s exquisite versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey make up an essential set for both Homer collectors and readers who have not yet made the acquaintance of Odysseus, Achilles, or Hector. Depicting their actions, and those of the gods they invoke, are vivid, stylistic illustrations reminiscent of Greek pottery, giving these large-format volumes an extra measure of authenticity and appeal. From the raging battles outside the walls of Troy to the strangely surreal ten years it takes Odysseus to journey home, these bold re-envisionings of Homer’s stories are told with simplicity and style — perfect for fans of graphic retellings and mythology enthusiasts alike.

Found a very interesting post about the current Folio Society exhibition, or perhaps “modest display” would be a more accurate description, as discussed on the excellent Library Thing forum.

I have not yet been myself, but fully intend to go this weekend, meanwhile there are some useful photographs showing some of the ephemera on display at the V&A including some old artwork of mine that I have not seen for a god while.
